“Perfect !!! Wat een geweldig hotel ! Zeer aanbevolen”
The lodge was spacious, offering both an outdoor and an indoor shower stocked with shampoo and plenty of towels, a comfortable bed with sheets and a cotton blanket, and a large fan above the bed that worked flawlessly; the front balcony featured a hammock, two chairs and a table, and although there were no windows or curtains, the screen doors let us gaze straight into the jungle where we could watch monkeys dart through the trees without any privacy concerns. Two binoculars, two headlamps, a flashlight and two big umbrellas were provided in the room, along with a safe; while there was no coffee or tea setup inside, a morning coffee/tea service was delivered to a table outside at the agreed time, which felt very attentive, and a bottle of filtered water was left in the room. There was no TV, as the whole experience centered on the jungle ambience, and we spent five days there, usually enjoying three meals a day that were generally generous—only once was breakfast scant, for reasons I can’t explain. Early excursions included breakfast, and we had plenty of fruit juices and smoothies; the alcohol selection at meals was limited but other options were sufficient. All tours were booked neatly, with a bird‑and‑frog walk on the property itself, and everything was coordinated through an app, making it easy to request activities. The pool, bar and view were stunning, with pool towels, anti‑mosquito sprays and sunscreen supplied, clean nearby toilets, and a large viewing window for animal spotting—we saw many monkeys, toucans, parrots and more. Service was spot‑on, with staff checking in just enough without being intrusive, and when a minor issue arose in our room they promptly moved us to another one. Although the price was on the higher side, it felt completely justified. Be aware that a regular car cannot reach the hotel; they usually pick you up at the bottom, and only a 4×4 can manage the quarter‑hour “centrifuge” ride if you’re daring enough. The lodges sit a short walk from the restaurant, which involves a bit of up‑and‑down walking, but a quick message gets someone to fetch you. We visited during the rainy season, so keep luggage tightly sealed because everything tends to feel a little damp—not the hotel’s fault, just the tropical jungle.
